Sensory Play: Flour Bin

How do you engage your preschooler on a very hot summer day? Get a dish pan/tub and fill with 4 cups of flour. Equip them with shovel,pail,cups. Hours of indoor fun guaranteed.
CJ enjoyed playing with her new shovel and pail. She filled the pail with flour, poured it out again into the tub and repeated the process.

She also came up with the idea of playing with rocks and flour. So I hid the rocks in the flour and She played dig, dig, dig!

Rock Hunt!

Caution: Flour is really messy so watch, keep an eye on them while they play. At the end of the play be prepared to face a white flour ghost:-)

We did this activity this morning with mixing bowls, a spatula and a measuring cup - super fun, even though it's super messy! At least the flour isn't sticky. We added marshmallows to the mix and ended up with sticky goo everywhere :-)
